Wait a minute, Michael h,
the way I perceive it is that there are many local, regional
(international) and an annual worldwide OSonOS alive and hopping and
growing. In splendid selforganisation.
In the german language realm (Austria, Germany, Switzerland and some
sprinklings from Italy, Netherlands..)we just had the 6th annual
regional OSonOS in a row (actually, its called a Learning Exchange...for
some time it bore the title "I, open space facilitator"...this last one
was just "I, open space..." to embrace not only facilitators but
sponsors, friends, newbees, etc.).
This coming June there will be the 2nd BOSonOS (Berlin Open Space on
Open Space), which is definitely a local event (no doubt all kinds of
people from other places in Germany and abroad can not be avoided!!)
that spawned an amazing number of projects (in the first BOSonOS the
idea of the berlin open space landscape was created which now has
evolved into the open space worldscape (http://www.openspaceworldscape.org/)
I know that there are local/regional OSonOS in the USA (as I recall in
Texas and the last one By The Sea, wherever that is),
in the UK (they just had their 3rd one, I think, last year I went to the
one in London where new activity evolved around a UK website
http://www.openspaceuk.com/
and, there are a number of others I think in Sweden (inviting all of
Scandinavia and beyond)
and probably local and regional ones in other parts of the world.
In fact, everyone of the 20+ Stammtische is a budding OSonOS, if you like.
So, what we have is a broad movement.
OSonOSes - be they in the form of a stammtisch, a more "formal" local,
regional or worldwide event - in fact arise wherever there is a bunch of
folks with passion and an urge to make things happen.
The second Berlin OSonOS for June of this year was conceived by a group
at the regional OSonOS that just took place last week in Berlin.
The next worldwide event was born at the last worldwide OSonOS in Moscow
(where we also announced the plan to have the one in 2008 in Berlin).
I am pretty sure that the next worldwide OSonOS will be born at the
upcoming event in Kiev. And it would not surprise me if there is a bunch
of Berliners (please recall JFK saying at a speech in Berlin long before
the wall came down "Ich bin ein Berliner!")in Kiev inviting us to Berlin
in 2008....maybe in a concert of a bunch of irresistable invitations!!
Greetings from this windy city expecting hurricane winds this afternoon

just wondering now... what if the 'international osonos' actually took
place in several countries at once?
those who wished to travel could do so, sewing us together. those who
could not travel far, could meet someplace in their own continent or
country. maybe there'd even be an online osonos at the same time for
those not travelling anywhere. everyone could access all the notes
online, including beforehand as some of us were discussing earlier.
that way everyone could decide where to go to meet up with the ones they
wanted. why not?
of course there is this business of the folks who meet up from all
different countries, the stories of having 12 or 15 countries
represented. but of course how many of our clients have said... 'oh my'
to open space when they find out that not everyone will hear the same
stuff at the same time? why not have an open season on osonos's?
anyone with real passion could convene a local one and post the notes
into the central proceedings repository, probably in many languages.
and what if somebody decided to post some skype sessions that could
include participants from several osonos's at once, some no doubt up in
the middle of the night someplace?
i tried to instigate such a thing way back in marysville, australia,
without success. so we went to sweden. but maybe the time is still
coming when this community will learn to have many osonos gatherings
going at once rather than everyone having to travel to just one each year.
speaking of irresitable offers, how long can this community resist doing
more than one conference at once, given what we are out there preaching
and practicing about simultaneous working sessions? :-)

Dear Tree and all
As to my understanding – Michael and his collegues are working on a
proposal we cannot resist. Personally I think it is a good idea to
have the International OSonOS 2008 in North America so I hope there
will be another proposal we cannot resist in Kiev! And I guess the
decision will be made there by whoever shows up. I do look forward
to coming to an International OSOnOS in Berlin whenever the
community thinks it´s the right time. It sure seems like a strong
community there!
Great to feel the energy building up…
Warmest regards
Thomas Herrmann

*Ämne:* Re: Michael Pannwitz's comment about OSonOS 2008 in Berlin
As someone based in N. America. I am offering my input that
International OSonOs 2006 was in Europe. This year will be in the
Ukraine which I believe is Europe? I sure hope 2008 is NOT in
Europe, Michael, and I am sorry to read that that might be the plan.
I have also heard of a plan to have OSonOS in Northern California
and Jerusalem. Surely it has not been decided that the
international OSonOS 2008 will be in Berlin?!
